    Hi all,

    any good suggestions for downtown Washington DC to get some good beers? Even breweries that are open to have a drink would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Churchkey is a gold mine of beer. Iron Horse is ok also.

    Meridian Pint in Columbia Heights is usually a good bet if you're looking for local-ish oddballs

    Churchkey is a world class establishment; just note that it opens at 4pm on weeknights (Noon, weekends) and gets very, very, crowded. Still... it is worth any inconveniences experienced. 50 Taps. 5 Casks. 500+ Bottles.

    RFD is decent also, a lot of bottled beers. As well as a decent draft menu.

    Are there any good BYOBs in DC?

    if you mean bring your own (which I assume) make some calls and see what they allow and what corkage fees they charge. HR-57 is a jazz club that at one point was a big BYOB place, but I think they may have since gotten their license since then. Not sure what Churchkey's policy or others is, you'll have to give places you want to visit a ring.
